Seeing this, Fang Qingru also laughed along, feeling gratified to see her daughters getting along so well. However, she hadn’t completely let down her guard, so she continued pestering Mi Jing, "What’s going on between you and Ling Xing? No matter how bad his mood is, he shouldn’t show us a cold face! Did you do sothing thoughtless again?"
After talking for a while, the topic circled back. Mi Jing was thinking of continuing to brush it off, but Xuanxuan, who was playing with a teddy bear on the bed, suddenly chid in, "Grandma, are you talking about Auntie and Uncle? Xuanxuan knows why Uncle is upset."
Oh no!
Sensing trouble, Mi Jing imdiately tried to change the subject, "Xuanxuan..."
"Stay out of this!" Fang Qingru gave Mi Jing no chance, warning her before instantly changing her expression and, with a big smile, picked up Xuanxuan. Beaming, she asked, "Well then, Xuanxuan, quickly tell Grandma why Uncle is upset."
"Auntie, Mom says kids shouldn’t lie, so I..." Xuanxuan didn’t imdiately answer Fang Qingru and instead turned her face towards Mi Jing, looking troubled.
"Go ahead, say it, Auntie won’t bla you." Given her mom’s stance, not getting to the bottom of it surely wouldn’t be the end of it, and a round of loud scolding seed inevitable.
Sure enough, as soon as Xuanxuan finished her words, Fang Qingru’s eyes flared up as she yelled at Mi Jing, "You foolish girl, when will you grow so sense! When will you stop causing trouble..."
Bang bang bang...
About twenty minutes later, Fang Qingru finally stopped her rant, still furious about Mi Jing’s rashness, but her good impression of Shen Lingxing had multiplied, making her feel a lot more at ease!
On the way ho, Shen Lingxing remained unusually silent. In the overly quiet atmosphere, Mi Jing felt tornted. After holding back for a while, she couldn’t take it anymore. As they walked into the house, she reached out and tugged at Shen Lingxing’s shirt, looking at his side profile, tentatively asking, "Are you still mad?"
"Do you think I shouldn’t be mad?" Shen Lingxing turned to et Mi Jing’s gaze, his eyes deep, asking back.
"No, I... I’m not used to seeing you like this; it’s pretty scary." While speaking, Mi Jing lowered her head sowhat guiltily, fiddling with her fingers, not daring to look directly at Shen Lingxing.
Hearing this, Shen Lingxing said nothing, carrying the box of art and photography works steadily into the living room. Watching his back, Mi Jing felt uneasy, not knowing what he was thinking or how long he would continue being so strangely aloof.
Thunk!
Shen Lingxing placed the box on the coffee table, then turned and glanced at Mi Jing, seeing her standing there sowhat awkwardly. He then commanded, "Co here!"
The forceful and cold tone made Mi Jing’s unease grow even more. She slowly moved her feet, occasionally glancing at Shen Lingxing’s emotionless face, her eyes full of caution and wariness.
What does he want to do?
Is he really going to beco violent?
With such uncertain guesses, Mi Jing’s steps suddenly halted, staring directly at Shen Lingxing, thinking, damn it, how long is he going to tornt her? If he’s angry, he can scold her, why scare her with a cold face? Cold violence is also scary, okay!
"Co here!"
Shen Lingxing sat on the sofa, leaning against the backrest, once again spitting out two gloomy words, his presence exuding chilling, terrifying cold pressure, making Mi Jing feel like she was in a giant ice pit!
Cold!
It was as if the temperature in the room dropped several degrees, a chill spreading from Mi Jing’s heart to her limbs, and when her gaze t Shen Lingxing’s deep and unfathomable eyes, her little heart trembled a few tis.
So scary!
He looked like he was possessed by a demon, shrouded in a dark aura, completely lacking his usual gentle and warm deanor.
Sothing’s wrong!
This Shen Lingxing was too off!
It couldn’t be just simple anger!
"What’s wrong with you? If there’s sothing bothering you, you can talk about it, don’t keep it bottled up." Mi Jing was still sowhat afraid of this abnormal Shen Lingxing, but besides fear, she also worried about him, so she walked quickly to his side while speaking. Just as she stood still, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a big hand, and with a strong pull, she was brought into his embrace.
His hands were like vines, tightly wrapping around her body, squeezing her breath, suffocating her.
"Shen Lingxing, are you trying to kill ?" Feeling very uncomfortable, Mi Jing turned her face and lifted her chin, leaning close to his ear, asking sowhat angrily.
Her soft voice, accompanied by warm breath, made Shen Lingxing’s body stiffen slightly. The next second, he adjusted the strength of his arms a bit, looking down at Mi Jing and asking, "Are you scared now?"
Mi Jing quickly took a few breaths of air, having a mont of blankness in her mind, but she soon recovered, imdiately rolling her eyes, and angrily questioned, "So you were deliberately scaring just now?"
"..."
Shen Lingxing pressed his lips without answering, but thought to himself, if I don’t scare you, will you rember next ti?
Seeing Shen Lingxing remain coolly silent, Mi Jing bit her lip in frustration. Feeling aggrieved montarily, the fear in her heart dissipated because of his previous words. Boldly, she glared at Shen Lingxing, saying resentfully, "Is scaring fun? I’ve already been lectured by Xuanxuan and my mom. Now I’m still suffering from your cold shoulder, isn’t your heart too cruel?"
Seeing Mi Jing’s complaints mixed with a bit of playful whining, Shen Lingxing finally showed a faint smile. He raised his hand, curled his fingers, and lightly tapped Mi Jing’s forehead, saying, "Mom said you need to be taught a lesson. You won’t learn without a lesson!"
This was completely Fang Qingru’s original words, Shen Lingxing didn’t add or subtract any words. Mi Jing, knowing her own mother, naturally understood these were indeed things her mom would say.
But, wasn’t her mom too unfair? She had already lectured her and now asked Shen Lingxing to "scare" her! Thankfully, her heart was strong and healthy, otherwise, she would have been frightened out of her wits.
Actually, Mi Jing wasn’t timid, she was just too used to Shen Lingxing’s gentle and harmless manner. His sudden change in temperant made her not only feel unfamiliar but also like she didn’t understand him anymore, couldn’t fathom his thoughts, or predict his actions, which led to unease and fear.
"Are you satisfied now? I almost got scared half to death by you!" Mi Jing rolled her eyes at Shen Lingxing, deliberately exaggerating.
